why can't I restore my iphone? My "other" data is taking up 5GB of my 6.34 capacity storage. Have erased all photos, videos, apps and music. when i try to restore I get a message that: could not restore, the device isn't eligible for the requested build. Anyone have any suggestions to: a) get the other data off my phone, b) restore phone?!!??!
Any advice appreciated.
iPhone 4 (8GB)
Like every other operating system, iOS stores temporary files and app caches locally on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, and these files can build up over time. Generally iOS is pretty good at housekeeping, but if you’ve had a device for a long time and haven’t deleted old unused apps, resynced recently, or restored from a backup, you may have more of these temporary files and caches stored on your iOS device than you think.
You can use apps like iLike, Phoneclean to remover these junk files and "other" data:
